The measure is being promoted as preventing non-U.S. citizens from voting in Mississippi, but Barnes notes it's already illegal for non citizens to vote, the state already has voter ID laws and the new proposal would only make it harder for citizens to vote, particularly senior citizens, rural residents and people who have recently been married and changed their names.
